DEVOTCHKA lyrics : "Queen Of The Surface Streets"

Well this is one place where
Your gods can't dwell
It's like walking in

To the mouth of hell
Sweating our dignities out on the subway
At the beginning of another long, long day


As for my mortal remains
I couldn't care

'Cause when the day is done
She'll be waiting here
That's when I love the accommodations

In a urine smelling transit station

I'll move these rocks

For you my love
I will tear them up out of the Earth
And I will bend my spine

'Til it's quitting time
'Cause I know what your time is worth


And I'll give my days to the Neanderthals
With the classic rock
And the wrecking ball

I'll go swimming in the wet concrete
And I'll cast my pearls at the unpaved streets


I don't mind the mental atrophy
'Cause when the lids come down, you're all I see
You're like a lovely hallucination

You get me through my current occupation

I'll move these rocks

For you my love
I will tear them up out of the Earth
And I will bend my spine

'Til it's quitting time
'Cause I know what your time is worth


See I'm towering
Above mortal men
I'll emerge from the darkness

And there you stand
You're the Queen of all the surface streets
I'm a wiener boy, that you're here to meet


I don't need the money
I couldn't care

'Cause everything I want Is standing right here
I would live on the street
In a cardboard shack

Just the worship the feet
And the curve of your back
You'll be my only preoccupation

On a permanent vacation

Now I will move these rocks

For you my love
I will tear them up out of the Earth
And I will bend my spine

'Til it's quitting time
'Cause I know what your love is worth


What your love is worth
What your love is worth
